My boyfriend just started a job 2 weeks ago. It wasn’t the kind of work he was into doing as it involved sitting behind a computer desk between 9 and 5. It paid a lot of money and all but he wasnt happy there. He just called me yesterday and sounded a little sad and told me he left the job as he wasnt happy there. he needs comfort now so what should I say to him? I mean it was a GREAT paying job but if he’s not happy ya know. What kind of advice/encouragement can I give him? We are in a long distance relationship so all I can do right now is talk to him on phone and give him support, what smart advice can I tell him in an email about leaving the job? Please advise, best answer wins 10 points
forget your bf. date me.
“I don’t date quitters.”
Send him something via airmail and tell him over the phone he has a special surprise coming to him soon. Could be anything – his favourite snacks, something you’ve made yourself, etc.
Other than that – if it were me, I’d tell him that it doesn’t matter what job he has unless he’s happy and I’d also tell him that I love him no matter what.
As long as he keeps on pushing forward and never looks back, I’d be extremely happy. I’d also go around looking for jobs for him as well and send him encouraging emails as well as write out a list of things for him to do to help him get out of his rut and be happy again.
Tell him that all the money in the world doesnt help if you are unhappy.
“If you can’t keep a job for two weeks, bye bye”
If he’s truly not happy after giving the job an honest chance, then staying is only delaying the inevitable and it would not be fair to either side. It seems like he needs to find the intersection between what he likes and what he’s good at. There are assessments out there that will help him point out his interests and strengths and may steer him to the career that he loves. What can you give him? HOPE. Hope that he WILL find the right career (not just a j-o-b). Hope will then spur action on his part, because being without a job is dangerous. My philosophy is: do what you love, the money will come.
well as a matter of fact he don’t like the job dint mean that he should leave the job he suppose to manage the job and at the same time looking for another job that will make his mined happy as u said because it is not easy to get another job easily as it suppose to be all he suppose to do is to convince him self about the job as if he like the job and pray that God should please give him another job well since he have left the job already no going back he should press forward he should not give up he should keep praying asking God to give him the job of his choice that will make him happy because the Bible says ask it shall be given unto you so i believe if he should ask it shall be give unto him pls dont stop praying for him tell to relax he will get a good job it is out there waiting for him
I would advise him to get out there and find a company that looks like it would be more his cup of tea. A lot of money means different things to different people. When I was 12 I thought $50 was a lot. What sort of education does he have? I’m guessing you guys are young so this would be an excellent time to pursue more education or complete an education or seek out some training that would allow him to compete for a job he would enjoy. It also sounds a bit like he didn’t give the new job too much of a chance. It is hard to really get a feel for a job in two weeks and I would strongly suggest he give the next job a good six month to one year try before he thinks about moving on. If nothing else you want to avoid making your resume look like you can’t hold a job or that you’re a job hopper.
